AUDREY: Good Morning, Mr. Mushnik

What morning? It’s two o’clock in the afternoon. Not that we’ve had a customer. Who has customers when you run a flower shop on Skid Row.

How well did you know this?

AUDREY: I’m sorry
(Seymour breaks something backstage)

Seymour what is going on back there?

SEYMOUR: Very little Mr. Mushnik!

Audrey you better go back there and see what he’s…
Audrey… Where’d you get that shiner?

AUDREY: Shiner?

Audrey, that greasy boyfriend of yours- he’s been beating up on you again? Look, I know it’s none of my business, but I’m beginning to think he’s not such a nice boy.

[Skid Row playoff .. .. tick tocks again…. check watch]

Look at that, Six-o-clock and we didn’t sell so much as a fern. I guess this is it.
Don’t bother coming in tomorrow.

SEYMOUR: You can’t mean.

What, what don’t I mean? I mean I’m closed, forget it, kaput.

How well did you know this?

Perfectly

AUDREY: You can’t.

Kaput! Extinct! I’m closing this customer and godforsaken place.

How well did you know this?

AUDREY: There. Now isn’t that bizarre?

At least. What kinda weirdo plant is that, Seymour?

How well did you know this?

Perfectly

SEYMOUR: You see sir, if you put as strange and interesting plant like this, here in the window, maybe-

Maybe what? Do you have any idea how ridiculous you sound? Just because you put a “strange and interesting” plant in the window people don’t suddenly…

SEYMOUR: An Audrey two!

Put that Audrey two in the window where the passers-by can see. My God, I'd never have believed it. My children, i'm taking us all to dinner!

AUDREY: Oh, I'd love to, Mr. Mushnik, but I have a date.

With that same nogoodnik? I'm telling you Audrey, you don't need a date with him, you need major medical. He ain't a good clean kinda boy.

AUDREY: He's a professional.

What kind of professional drives a motorcycle and wears a leather jacket?

SEYMOUR: Goodnight.

Poor girl.

SEYMOUR: Are we still going to dinner? (plant wilts)

You're not going anywhere, Krelborn. You're staying right here and taking care of that sick plant. How come its always fainting all the time?

SEYMOUR: I told you, it's been giving me trouble. It just wilts like this. The Audrey Two is not a healthy girl.

Strictly between us, neither is the Audrey one.

SEYMOUR: If only I knew what breed it is, what genus. But it's nowhere in the books.

Well, Krelborn, my advice is you'd better figure it out, and fast. Look what this exotic little beauty did for business!

SEYMOUR: I know.

So work, Seymour! Nurse that plant back to health, I'm counting on you.

SEYMOUR: I know. (x2)

You do?

SEYMOUR: I do.

So fix! Goodnight.

DJ: I see, well thanks for dropping by and-

The address, the address! Mention the...

SEYMOUR: I'd like to remind our listeners that the Audrey two is on display exclusively at Mushnik's Skid Row Florists open six days a week, ten to six!

Oh well, it's still great advertising.

CRYSTAL: You sounded sexier than the Wolfman!

But you didn't mention the address! How many times have I told you-?

SEYMOUR: I'm sorry. I was nervous. Where's Audrey? She said she'd be here.

Forget about Audrey, I have three more radio interviews lined up for tomorrow and the Skid Row Herald examiner wants a picture!

[End Ya Never Know]

KRELBORN!!!!

SEYMOUR AUDREY & MUSHNIK (End Closed for Renovation): TODAY!!!

Seymour, did you send out that order for Mrs. Shiva?

SEYMOUR: Mrs. Shiva... Er, I forgot.

You forgot?! How could you forget an order like that!? The Shiva's are our most important funeral account! Big enormous family, and they're dropping like flies! I'm telling you, Krelborn, if we lose their business over this, , you. Are. FINISHED!

ORIN: Get outta this dump and take the plant with you.

What?!?

SEYMOUR: I hear you.

He hears him.

SEYMOUR: Sure. Sure I'll think about it.

He'll think about it

[Call Back In the Morning]

Mushnik and Son, please hold. Audrey will be right with you. URCHINS! Look, here's ten apiece. Deliver these to the Dutch Pavilion and these to the Japanese Consulate. Audrey, I'm late for the lawyers. Tell Seymour to see that Corman gets his Wolfbane!

[End Suddenly Seymour]

So! It seems the plot is thickening among my employees!

SEYMOUR: Please Mr... Daddy...

Don't you "Mister Daddy" me, Krelborn. Audrey, I wonder if you'd excuse Seymour and me for a little while. Perhaps you'd like to go visit your Dentist friend.

SEYMOUR: That's not very funny, Dad. You know he disappeared.

Oh, that's right. He did, didn't he? Forgive me, boychik.

AUDREY: Of course it is. Goodnight, Seymour. Goodnight, Mr. Mushnik.

Little red dots. All over the floor.

SEYMOUR: You're acting pretty strange, Pop.

I had a pretty strange afternoon, son. After my lawyer's appointment, I was called to the police station.

SEYMOUR: The police?

Yes. It seems they made a routine investigation into the disappearance of this motorcycle dentist. And when they did- It seems they found a Mushnik's Skid Row Florists bag... In... His... Office!

SEYMOUR: What's that supposed to mean?

Exactly what I asked myself, Seymour. And then I began to think about certain things I've noticed around here, lately. Little red dots all over the linoleum!

SEYMOUR: I... I spilled some Hawaiian Punch and it stained.

Hard to keep things clean around here, isn't it? Especially when they only remove our garbage once a month!

SEYMOUR: Where are you going?

If you want something removed in a hurry, it's best not to dispose of it on Skid Row!

SEYMOUR: What are you talking about?

THIS! A dentist's uniform!

AUDREY TWO: He's got your number now.

I saw it last week and didn't think twice

AUDREY TWO: He knows just what you done.

And the little red dots seemed innocent enough

AUDREY TWO: You got no place to hide.

But then I catch you kissing the dentist's girlfriend...

AUDREY TWO: You got nowhere to run!

And it begins to look like a motive

AUDREY TWO: He knows your life of crime!

Once he's out of the way, you move in, right?

SEYMOUR: I'm innocent! I'm innocent!

Then how do you explain this?!

SEYMOUR: A picture of a baseball cap?

Your baseball cap. The police found it in Scrivello's office, showed it to me, and asked if I could identify it.

SEYMOUR: Did you?

No. They don't suspect you at all, Seymour. But they don't know about the dots, the uniform, the girlfriend...

SEYMOUR: I- didn't do it!

Then come with me to the police and tell them that!

AUDREY TWO: He's got his facts all straight

Just so my conscience will rest easy.

AUDREY TWO: He's gonna turn you in!

Now, will you come?

AUDREY TWO: He's U.S.D.A prime, for my suppertime!

I'll lock up, we'll head over

AUDREY TWO: The world will be yours

Okay, Seymour, let's head over.

SEYMOUR: Er... don't you want to collect the day's receipts so you deposit them in the morning?

You put them in the safe, didn't you?

SEYMOUR: Er... no.

Why not?

SEYMOUR: I... forgot the combination

It's thousands of dollars- where is it?

SEYMOUR: In the plant.

In the plant?

SEYMOUR: I... thought that'd be the safest place. No thief would ever look in there, right?

The money's inside the plant?

[SEYMOUR nods]

So how am I supposed to get it?

SEYMOUR: Just... knock...

Knock?
